The effects of digital technology on the security industry require
constant vigilance by security distributors, sales staff, and
installation professionals. Today and for the foreseeable future,
all security professionals must have at least a basic understanding
of digital technology. "Digital CCTV" addresses this new challenge.
Topics convered include compression variables such as Lossless and
Lossy, which are explained by reviewing Huffman and Run Length
Encoding (RLE), and by relating these forms of compression to ZIP
and Stuffit, which are commonly used in personal computers. A
review of JPEG, motion JPEG, MPEG and wavelet compression schemes
among others, with a comparison of the merits of each, is also
provided. As "Digital CCTV" traces the stream of digital video flow
from the computer industry through compression, transmission,
display and storage, and explains how analog video signal is
converted into a digital signal, the reader will learn and
understand the mysteries of digital science.
* Explains industry concepts, acronyms and buzzwords acurately and
clearly
* Covers history, current complexities, and the future effects of
digital science
*Provides practical information about how digital video works, how
digital video is stored and transmitted, what digital systems can
and cannot accomplish, and what to expect from digital video
equipment in modern CCTV systems
CCTV for Security Professionals provides the information necessary
to design the ideal CCTV system. The chapters are stand-alone
sources of information on their subjects and are presented in
logical sequence to guide the reader from basic principles to more
complex for a complete system understanding.
In his straight-forward and informative text, Alan Matchett
approaches the camera systems from the user's point of view,
providing the security manager with the knowledge to discuss the
system, its desired features, and the areas of design concern
within the context of an organization's business model. This can
prove to be invaluable when evaluating an existing system, the use
and components of a given system, or in evaluating a system design
proposed by a vendor.
Installers and service personnel will benefit from the functions
and possibilities that are available with the various components
and by gaining an understanding of their customers' needs. Newer
technicians will learn how to set up the system properly, and can
familiarize themselves with the technologies that go into a CCTV
system.
Security equipment sales personnel will also gain a better
knowledge of the customer's needs as well as learn to determine
exactly what questions they should be asking the customer and what
the customer's responses mean. In this manner, the book will offer
invaluable tips to ensure customers get exactly what they expect in
a system.
* Provides a detailed explanation of CCTV components and the
technology behind analog and digital CCTV systems.
* Establishes a "common language" for security professionals, CCTV
system designers and sales personnel to use as a basis for system
design.
* Provides a clear explanation of the design process and design
principles.
